Nanaimo Mounties are hoping the public can help them find Cristian Kaiser, 23, of Nanaimo. Kaiser has had no contact with his family since December 2012.
Kaiser's parents hoped their son would contact them directly or through a friend, but haven't heard from him since his disappearance.
Kaiser does not own a vehicle, has limited financial means and does not use social media, so it has been extremely difficult for his family to reach out to him and they are very concerned, according to Const. Gary O'Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. The detachment's Serious Crime Unit is examining all avenues, including the possibility of foul play, he said.
Kaiser is 5-feet-4, weighs 120 pounds, has olive skin, dark hair, brown eyes and no noticeable scars or tattoos.
“The Nanaimo RCMP believes someone has information on the disappearance of Cristian Kaiser and is asking them to come forward," O'Brien said. "His family needs to hear he is OK."
If you have information about Kaiser or his disappearance, please call the Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com.
